Anything you do acting or otherwise I will shout to the rafters in support of you. You are an incredible person and so talented. - Denise Roberts, Director & CEO, SCREENWISE AUSTRALIA 2020 You have been such a delight to cast and to work with on Dark Horse production. The role of Mr Roberts was not an easy one to take on, and you did so exceptionally. Your sense of professionalism and kind nature carried through from the audition right to wrap and as filmmakers, these are qualities we all really appreciate. Your dedication to emotionally understand Mr Roberts speaks volumes on your ability, thank you for taking yourself to that space. It was an amazing performance and will be a defining moment in the film. You are a talented actor and thank you again for your enthusiasm and the time you dedicated to this project. - Crystal Whiteley, Casting Director – DARK HORSE 2020 A genuinely nice guy who is a pleasure to work with. Brings a passion to a script that sees beyond all the incidental rubbish and gets excited about the character themselves. - Nick Payne, Director – LIFEBOAT 2021 Very professional actor. Martin has a wealth of experience and it showed on the day of the shoot. We would highly recommend him. - Richard Tauheluhelu, Producer - ROSE, 2021
